Bonavita 5-Cup Thermal Coffee Maker

The Bonavita 5-Cup Thermal Coffee Maker gets the most important part right: temperature. Its 1100-watt heater locks in 195 to 205 degrees F through the entire brew cycle, the range the Specialty Coffee Association certifies as the sweet spot for full, rich extraction, and it holds it there every time.

A precision wide showerhead rains water evenly over every ground in the filter so nothing gets missed, and an optional bloom mode gives freshly roasted coffee a 30-second head start. When brewing is done, the double-wall stainless steel thermal carafe keeps coffee hot for hours with no heating plate and no burnt aftertaste.

One button starts it all. Everything that comes apart goes in the dishwasher, and it is compact enough to live on any counter.
